Sgt. Kabukiman NYPD

Another Troma classic featuring Harry Griswald who is an NYPD cop who gets possessed with the spirit of a great Kabuki master. He's the chosen one who has to do battle with the evil one etc (as you'd expect!).

There's some great transformation scenes and great laughs - my favourite sequence is probably the big car chase where the car is chasing a clown on a unicycle, which if course features the famous Troma car roll sequence (same clip as seen in many Troma movies including Tromeo & Juliet!) which according to Lloyd Kaufman the director was really expensive to shoot that they use it as much as they can to get their money's worth. If you watch closely whenever the sequence appears you'll notice the cars are usually different colours to the one that goes into the air. Coolio.
